Hallidie Building, Commercial building in Financial District, San Francisco, United States
The seven-story structure at 130 Sutter Street features an uninterrupted grid pattern of glass panels supported by inverted beams connected to concrete slabs.
Willis Polk designed this 1918 structure, named after cable car pioneer Andrew Smith Hallidie, introducing an early example of glass curtain wall architecture.
The ground floor houses the Center for Architecture + Design, which includes exhibition spaces and a lecture hall for architectural education programs.
The building underwent extensive restoration in 2013 to repair and strengthen its sheet metal components, cornices, balconies, and fire escape systems.
Golden ornamental iron details contrast with the transparent glass facade, creating a distinct visual element among neighboring masonry structures.
